Silver City Recreation Site

πŸ“Œ Owyhee Area πŸ“ 43.015067,-116.730851 β›° 6,150 ft
Silver City Recreation Site is situated on both sides of Jordan Creek on the south edge of Silver City. It offers a place to tent camp or park a small RV/trailer while visiting the historic Silver City. You would likely not come here for the camping as the site is rough and would likely be either dry and dusty or wet and muddy. But take a look at the pictures and make up your own mind. I found no indication of a fee to camp here.

Amenities

Campsites
There are six campsites each has a picnic table and fire ring with attached grate. The first three are on the near side of Jordan Creek while the other three are accessed by crossing a fairly steep creek crossing. The roads and driveways are gravel/dirt. The creek crossing would be interesting if Jordan Creek were running high. The first two sites have little to no shade as well as one on the other side of the creek while the other three have some if not alot of shade from cottonwood trees or tall willow brush.
